my shaft zinc has replacement has gone from every 6 months to about every three months recently. It was replaced at the beggining of january and my diver just told me it needs replacing again.
My DC wiring has been recently upgraded, about 6 months ago. im confident i did it correctly but am wondering if when getting rid of or disconnecting old wiring if i disturbed or did something to any of the old AC wiring that may be causing AC leakage. the AC wiring is in poor shape and its possible something got disturbed somewhere behind the panel or elsewhere thats now causing a leak. it seems the rapid zinc loss roughly coincides with the timing of my upgrade.
im far from an expert yet but have started down the path to try and understand how to try and figure out if i have an AC leak somewhere. As far as i can tell it seems pretty easy to do. In my one evening research session it seems all i need to do is put a Fluke 360 meter over my shore power cable. if i dont have any leakage my readings should me less that 30 milliamps to be within an acceptable range. If thats the case it would mean my problem lies elsewhere.
am i correct that testing for AC leakage is that easy?
